Influenza A virus evolution and spatio-temporal dynamics in eurasian wild birds : A phylogenetic and phylogeographical study of whole-genome sequence data
Low pathogenic avian influenza A viruses (IAVs) have a natural host reservoir in wild waterbirds and the potential to spread to other host species. Here, we investigated the evolutionary, spatial and temporal dynamics of avian IAVs in Eurasian wild birds. We used whole-genome sequences collected as part of an intensive long-term Eurasian wild bird surveillance study, and combined this genetic data
